Maribor started their second home European match of 2024 a little after 8 PM at Ljudski Vrt, with Etienne Beugre in the starting eleven of the Styrian giant. This was despite the fact that he had been struck by a family tragedy before the match—he had lost his father. The 23-year-old forward still expressed his desire to play, and coach Ante Šimundža sent him into battle from the first minute. It was Etienne Beugre who, in the middle of the first half, was responsible for the red card shown to Universitatea.
“During the final preparations for the match, our striker faced a family tragedy: Etienne Beugre received the shocking news of his father’s sudden death in the morning. Despite the painful loss, he decided to stay with the team and be available for the match. As planned, he got the opportunity in the starting eleven, and he will travel to the Ivory Coast on Friday. On behalf of NK Maribor, we extend our sincere and deepest condolences to Etienne and his family. The team will wear black armbands on their jerseys tonight,” Maribor stated on their club website.
